- Former Jabra Executive Morten Steen-Jorgensen Named President & CEO of 
Brightstar Accessories

Brightstar Corp., one of the largest wireless device distribution and
supply chain solutions companies in the world, announced today it has formed
a new global accessories company called Brightstar Accessories. The new
company, headquartered in Miami, will focus on the procurement, marketing,
sales and distribution of innovative mobile device accessories to operator,
retail and dealer customers worldwide.

According to a report issued by ABI Research in February 2008, mobile
phone accessory worldwide sales in 2008 will exceed US$40 Billion, with that
number expected to double by 2012.

Brightstar Accessories will be uniquely positioned to sell and support a

world. The company plans to leverage Brightstar's unmatched global footprint,
supplier agreements and worldwide customer base to deliver better operational
efficiencies, improved product portfolios and a full range of support

their consumer base.

To lead the new company, Brightstar has named former Jabra executive
Morten Steen-Jorgensen as president and CEO. Steen-Jorgensen brings vast
depth of experience from assignments in manufacturing, as well as operator
and distribution organizations. Steen-Jorgensen was president of GN
Mobile/Jabra, a leading global provider of wired and Bluetooth headsets. He
also spent several years at AT&T, where his roles expanded from retail
product management to channel and strategy development for AT&T's
international businesses in EMEA, Hong Kong, Netherlands, UK, Denmark, and
the United States.

R. Marcelo Claure, Brightstar chairman, CEO & president of Brightstar
said, "Worldwide, accessories continue to be a growing part of the wireless
marketplace. As devices become more sophisticated and data-centric, the need
for high level accessory solutions becomes increasingly critical. The
formation of Brightstar Accessories, headed by Morten Steen-Jorgensen,
addresses this need, and will further position Brightstar as a global leader
in device and accessory management."

Morten Steen-Jorgensen added, "We believe that accessories can be a
significant revenue contributor and margin enhancer to our customers, while
simultaneously improving consumer satisfaction with their mobile device and
overall wireless experience. By creating Brightstar Accessories, we will lead
the charge in providing the highest quality and largest product portfolio in
the industry, serving both our supplier partners and over 160,000 points of
sale around the world."
